AI podcasts looking for guests

Shows in AI that have published recently and that put a booking address in their own feed. Both of those are checked, because a directory of dead shows looks identical to a good one until somebody wastes a week on it.

18 AI shows, read on 14 August 2026. Apple's public podcast search, then each show's own feed.

There are 18 AI podcasts here that book guests, each confirmed to have published an episode within the last 120 days and each listing a booking address published in its own RSS feed. Show notes carry a link to the guest, which is why a booking converts far better than a cold link request: you are being invited rather than asking for a favour.

One pitch, about their show

The address in a feed is published so hosts can be reached about the show. A template about your company sent to twenty of these does more damage than sending nothing. Pick three, listen to an episode, and say which one.

Why AI podcasts are a source for answer engines

When a podcast episode cites your brand, research, or a key executive, that page becomes a potential source for answer engines. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity read published transcripts and show notes to answer questions about industry trends, tools, and experts.

A citation here is earned media. It carries more weight than a paid link because it comes from a third party's editorial decision. The link from a podcast page to your site is a direct signal that engines follow. The mention of your brand in the transcript is content they can read and repeat.

What AI podcasts looking for guests want

Podcast hosts book guests to provide genuine insight for their audience. They look for a clear, specific niche. A guest should be able to talk about one thing in depth, such as implementing retrieval-augmented generation in e-commerce, or the ethics of synthetic data for training models.

They need a guest who can explain complex topics in plain language without sales pitches. Your proposed topic must fit the show's recent episodes and stated themes. A generic pitch about 'the power of AI' will be ignored. A specific pitch about a measurable result, a case study, or a technical deep dive has a chance.

How to pick the three worth pitching

First, listen to the last two episodes of a show. You are checking for format, audience level, and host style. Does the host let guests explain? Is the audience technical or business focused?

Second, read the show's published description and episode titles. Does your expertise align with the core themes? If the show is about machine learning engineering and you work in AI marketing, it is likely not a fit.

Third, check the publication date. The table shows episodes from the last 120 days. A show that has published recently is actively booking. Prioritise these over shows with older episodes.

What to send and what not to send

Send a short email to the address listed in the podcast's RSS feed. Introduce yourself and your specific role. Propose two or three concrete topic ideas that tie directly to your proven work. Link to one relevant piece of your own content, like an article or a talk, to show your communication style.

Do not send a press release, a full biography, or a list of every speaking engagement. Do not attach files unless asked. Do not pitch a topic the show covered in its last three episodes. The goal is to start a conversation, not to book the slot in the first email.

How Mentionry finds and pitches AI podcasts for you

Mentionry's Act module reads directories of AI podcasts looking for guests, journalist requests, and conferences. It judges each opportunity against your brand kit, which defines your topics, audiences, and what you can honestly discuss.

For each match, it drafts the outreach email in your voice. You review and edit the draft in the Desk. When you approve, Mentionry sends it from your connected email account. It never places, publishes, or pays for a link. Whether a host books you is their editorial decision. If you are cited, Mentionry's Monitor module will record that citation when answer engines read it.

Questions

All 18 of them, on two tests rather than one. Each show has published an episode within the last 120 days, and each publishes a booking address in its own RSS feed rather than in a directory entry somebody else wrote. A directory of dead shows looks identical to a good one until somebody wastes a week on it, which is why both checks run before a row is listed.

These pages cover the subjects we publish. Give Mentionry a domain and it runs the same sources against your niche, judges each opening against what you can honestly say, and drafts the approach. Then it sends it from your own mailbox, once you have read it.
